The benefits of water for health

Water is a synonym for health, with its quality being guaranteed only by reliable water filters. Adequate consumption of clean, filtered water has many different benefits for our body. Let's list the most important of them:

1. Water carries oxygen throughout our body, since our blood comprises 90% water and red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to all our body.
2. It moisturizes the joints, as the cartilage covering the joints comprises 80% water. Therefore, long-term dehydration makes the vibrations absorption in the joints of our limbs and spine difficult. The natural consequence is pain.
3. Body hydration stimulates skin health, protecting it from problems and premature wrinkles.
4. Body hydration creates saliva and mucus, necessary for proper food digestion, dental health, proper functioning of the respiratory tract and protection of various vital organs.
5. It protects the brain and spinal cord, enhancing its structure and healthy function. Prolonged dehydration can cause thinking and reasoning problems.
6. It regulates body temperature through sweating.
7. It detoxifies the body.
8. It helps maintain blood pressure.
9. It keeps the kidneys healthy and clean, as they are the organ that regulates the amount of fluids in the body.
10. It protects us from asthma and respiratory allergies, since, when the body is dehydrated, the airways contract to prevent water loss through breathing.
11. Water is essential for nutrition, as many vitamins and minerals are water-soluble and must be dissolved in water to be absorbed by the body.
12. It facilitates weight loss, since two glasses before each meal causes a feeling of fullness, thus limiting the amount of food we consume.
13. It aids our exercise performance, as hydration increases our endurance in physical activity that lasts more than 30 minutes.
